[edit] Introduction
[edit] Hebrew Text
- הָאֻמָּנִין קוֹרִין בְּרֹאשׁ הָאִילָן אוֹ בְּרֹאשׁ הַנִּדְבָּךְ,
- מַה שֶּׁאֵינָן רַשָּׁאִין לַעֲשׂוֹת כֵּן בִּתְפִלָּה.
[edit] English Translation
- Workers can recite [Shema] on top of a tree or on top of a wall of stones,
- which they are not permitted to do for tefillah [prayer].
[edit] Explanation
We see in Mishnah Berakhot 1:3 that the physical posture does not matter when reciting Shema (following the opinion of Beit Hillel), whereas the tefillah must be said in a standing position (cite?).
